Market: Competitive differentiators
• Most tools and methods for EA originate in IT
• Dragon1 from a different mold: CxO’s & Business
• Unique in the market:
- Principles most important concept in EA
- This way of working gives more control on successful implementation of
concepts
- Only tool that supports creation of principle visualization
- Enables executives to understand workings of concepts, preconditions and
impact on organization
• Cost of tool half of other tools, due to SaaS model and strategy to make it interesting to use Dragon1 to different users/roles, not only architects
www.dragon1.com 16
Tool: Key Differentiators
• Difference in target users compared to other tools
- Architects, but also Analysts, Engineers and Managers are
invited to administer data, model information and
communicate plans, architecture and design and reports with
the tool
• Difference in functionality compared to other tools
- The ability to actually play migration scenario's
- The ability to create informal visualizations linked to formal
models.
www.dragon1.com 17
Tool: Key Differentiators
• Difference in technology compared to other tools
- M-3 level in the database
• Difference in methodical approach compared to other tools
- Dragon1 stimulates working with unverified & verified
assumptions ensuring the creation of usable architecture
products independent of time-pressure on teams
- Dragon1 facilities to administer and visualize principles in a
way-of-working manner.
www.dragon1.com 18
Tool Key differentiator in detail: Dragon1 contains a visual enterprise architecture method
• Some unique concepts in Dragon1 are:
- Administer and design architecture as a (consistent) total
concept of a structure
- Visualize a structure as a system with a (coherent)
constructive, operative and decorative dimension.
- Visualize a concept-principle as the way a concept works and
produce results.
• Be an architect as in a creative designer and construction supervisor of total concepts
www.dragon1.com 19
Supply Chain challenges
• Interplay of organization, technology, performance management and knowledge
• High level of IT dependence
- ERP, BI, SC planning, visibility and event
management, data integration tools, transportation
management tools, value added network
communications, booking portals….
• High level of data integration required
www.dragon1.com 20
• Move away from siloes, inside-out focus
• Leaders of functional areas must work together
• Synchronize networks
• Integration of processes and data
• How to design and implement advanced SC capabilities (e.g. network design and optimization, advanced analytics, decision governance, and collaborative product-process design)
• Apply demand driven principles
Supply Chain challenges (2)
www.dragon1.com 21
Dragon1 for Supply Chain
• Use the Architecture Repository web application to administer and model (relate entities) the supply chain that exists out of organizations, services, processes, means, data, contracts, rules, etc...
• Define your own (cross organization) concepts, entities, types and attributes • Have architects collaborate importing, entering, sharing and reusing concepts
(knowledge), reference models and data (cabinets, dossiers & folders) • CDM
www.dragon1.com 22
Dragon1 for Supply Chain
• Design a consistent logistical services solution, uniting all service requirements from different stakeholders from different organizations.
• This visualization is a perspective (total of 20 morphed views) of 5 models based on 1 meta model.
• Unite several cabinets or dossier of different organizations into 1 cabinet or 1 dossier.
• Import & reuse Archimate, BPMN and Visio.
www.dragon1.com 23
Dragon1 for Supply Chain
• Have supply chain visualizations generated based on a user defined view types. • Make it interactive with pop ups or click through to other models. • Use indicators with colors to show in the visualization where rules are not met. • Play the scenario: have the view build up in frames and layers. • Have architects collaborate visualizing data. • Create real-time views with documents & data indicators • BPR, Lean
www.dragon1.com 24
Dragon1 for Supply Chain
• The Catalog web application supports high speed detailed data import and manual entry by engineers, service managers and analysts.
• User can define their own web forms and catalog types (for stock info, process info, service info, etc...)
• Large sets of data-instances can be combined and viewed at type-level with generated visualizations using f.i. color schemes.
www.dragon1.com 25
Why Dragon1 for Supply Chain?
• Highly improved Governance and ROI of the enterprise
- More collaboration between architects (and functional areas)
- Shorten time of design and implementation

How is Dragon1 EA / BPM tool used?

• Enterprise transformation & collaboration
• IT Infrastructure outsourcing

• Document Management & Publication
Detailed Reference cases are available for:
• KPN (telco – business & IT transformation roadmap)
• Municipality Maastricht (municipality – e-services architecture design)
• Crédit Agricole (bank – roadmap for digital business)
• UWV (government – architecture design digital workplace)
www.dragon1.com 27
Reference Case 1 – KPN (telecom)
• Problem description: At KPN delivery streets are used to provide on time and above expectation product and services to customers in an orchestrated way (automation of actions and managing suppliers) after ordering a product or services. The problem of KPN is encountering that they have 4000-product-parameters and four hardcoded delivery streets for this. KPN aims to shift to one dynamic delivery street and shutdown the others. Unfortunately at directors-level, architects are not succeeding in getting the directors to choose to switch and shut down the delivery street (having cost 240 mio euro development).
• Strategy and activities: By making a business & IT transformation roadmap that is understandable for board and directors how the business in the future benefits from only dynamic delivery-street (i.e. visualizing the business case) will stimulate to make a choice as directors based on this visualization to choose for this one dynamic solution.
• Solution: With the Architecture Repository and Visual Designer in the Dragon1 EA Tool together five persons created partial architecture visualizations that were placed together on 1 A0 size architecture roadmap poster.
• Investment: 30k Savings: > 1 mio euro
• ROI: This year the hard-coded delivery-streets are planned to be shutdown.
• Products: See screenshot of Roadmap
www.dragon1.com 29
Reference Case 2 – Crédit Agricole
• Problem description: At the bank Crédit Agricole the board had the challenge of making projects collaborate more on realizing the future digital business. Projects were lacking a common overview and insight of the total concept at business and IT, the alignment and a blueprint, to concretize the vision into something realizable in projects.
• Strategy and activities: By having eight persons working together with the tool and administering and visualizing their domains a multilayered roadmap could be created. The roadmap acted as single source of information for all of the projects. All the important deliverables on the roadmap were also in the project documents.
• Solution: With the Architecture Repository and the Visual Designer in Dragon1 EA Tool various visualizations were made, one of which is a 4 layered roadmap containing all the important deliverables in projects.
• Investment: 40k
• ROI: > 500k (preventing projects to grow apart of building non-integratable solutions)
• Products: See example screenshots on the next pages of the created architecture products in the Visual Designer

Architecture in Dragon1 is a total concept of
a structure.
A structure in Dragon1 is a system with a
constructive, operative and decorative
dimension.
An Architecture Framework shows types of
architectures and the (larger) concepts.
